He faced a formidable challenge from Mr Themba Mazibuko, who carded a first round score of 73 and the young Stewart Mabena who also provided a fine 76 on the first round of 18 holes.
Mr Tsotetsi proved once again, during the final 18 holes on Sunday, May 10, that he is undoubtedly the best golfer to come out of Thiteng Section and is currently the best in Tembisa.
He eagled the 8th during the final round, a par 5 hole which is guarded all round by sand bunkers and a water pond.
Although Mr Mazibuko produced four birdies on the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th holes, Mr Tsotesti still managed to maintain the pressure on him, eventually beating him by one stroke.
Mr Tsotetsi also took the final day’s best net and also the first round longest drive prize on the 18th, when he drove the ball almost 350 metres.
Mr Themba Nxumalo, formally from Umnonjaneni Section who now lives in Country View in Midrand, became the B Division king.
He posted scores of 78 and 85.
His performance won him the B Division trophy, the best net prize for the first round and the lucrative microwave prize for being the B Division champion.

Mr Benjamin Monyanyedi, one of the executive committee members of the Tembisa Golf Club, said that overall the club championship lived up to expectation with 52 players taking part, including four promising juniors from the development academy and two ladies golfers.
“The 2015 event has confirmed the level of interest by Tembisans in the game of golf. It also confirmed the standard in terms of the quality. This is thanks to our development programme and the Ebuhleni facility. The scoring was applauded by the Kempton Park Country Club, who also played a part, not only in affording us the club for the two days, but also by contributing towards the prizes,” he said.
